When students thrive, they are, as Schreiner, Lewis, and Nelson note, \u201cnot only succeeding academically but also engaged in the learning process, investing effort to reach important educational goals, managing their time and commitments effectively, connected in healthy ways to other people, optimistic about their future, positive about their present choices, appreciative of differences in others, and committed to enriching their community.\u201d Library faculty and staff are integral to supporting student thriving. The American University Library applies a holistic approach to supporting student success, from providing specific academic research support to developing many initiatives to support the broader well-being of our students. In this session, we will cover some of the ways in which we not only support student success, but also support staff and faculty who are engaged in the work of supporting graduate and undergraduate students. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Participants will be able to: * understand library services and processes in order to guide students to resources that promote holistic thriving * utilize library resources in order to support their own success * promote library services and resources as part of a holistic community support network for all members of our campus community<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n            <\/div>        <\/div>    <\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"av_toggle_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" >    <div class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \" >        <p data-fake-id=\"#toggle-id-6\" class=\"toggler \"  itemprop=\"headline\" >Session 2: Coordinating Student Success Efforts Using AU Technology <span class=\"toggle_icon\">        <span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>        <div id=\"toggle-id-6-container\" class=\"toggle_wrap \" >            <div class=\"toggle_content invers-color\"  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Location:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Hall of Science 103<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/american.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tJcrfu-hqz4vHdD_b2Bgg4dliHnM7OowNR8j\">Join the Zoom session<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Presenters:<\/strong> Gene Logan (Director of AU Central), Jenice Sabb-Dumas (Associate Director, First Year Advising) &amp; Rachel Wu-Pong (Associate Director, First Year Advising)<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">CRM Advise.

We know from surveys the Office of Sustainability has conducted that many students choose AU because of sustainability achievements. An Inside Higher Ed poll from 2023 tells us that 71% of students want to take sustainability courses regardless of their major. We also know that 91% of AU students strongly agree or agree that we are exceeding environmental limits but only 53% believe their individual actions on campus matter. Research at Yale informs us that while 72% of American adults believe global warming is happening, only 36% even occasionally discuss it. The feelings of helplessness and isolation that stem from these disconnects can be countered through community. Students across campus have shared with our office a desire to see sustainability efforts highlighted across campus by all offices and departments. In this session, I will share tools and resources to help connect the work happening in individual offices across campus with traditional and less traditional sustainability topics. I will also share ways to use sustainability as a marketing tool, conversation starter, and tool for expanding inclusive spaces across campus. Finally, I will share ways for individuals and offices to earn recognition for their work that connects to sustainability because each of us at AU has a role to play in furthering our sustainability progress and we can use that role to help our students find community.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n            <\/div>        <\/div>    <\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>11:00 a.m. &#8211; 11:50 a.m. | Late Morning Sessions<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div class=\"togglecontainer toggle_close_all \">\n<section class=\"av_toggle_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" >    <div class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \" >        <p data-fake-id=\"#toggle-id-8\" class=\"toggler \"  itemprop=\"headline\" >Session 1: Student Employment on Campus: Hiring Effectively While Helping Students Develop Workplace Skills <span class=\"toggle_icon\">        <span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>        <div id=\"toggle-id-8-container\" class=\"toggle_wrap \" >            <div class=\"toggle_content invers-color\"  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Location: Mary Graydon Center 247<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/american.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tJAsdu6pqTkuHdcbUJB_LRPn1VFT_PGa0nUX\">Join this Zoom session<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"TextRun SCXW160525922 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW160525922 BCX8\">Presenters: <\/span><\/span><\/strong>Gihan Fernando (Assistant Vice Provost, Career Center), Julie Jones (Director of Employer Relations, Career Center), Shirleyne McDonald (Director of Financial Aid Communication and Service), Jennifer Scott (Managing Director of Talent Acquisition, Human Resources) &amp; Rebekah Smith (Library Access Outreach Coordinator)<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Student Employment at AU is a collaboration between HR, the Office of Financial Aid (OFA), the Career Center and numerous offices that employ students.

During three sections of the spring capstone courses, students were asked to <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW6350271 BCX8\">identify<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW6350271 BCX8\"> positive and detrimental classroom practices, in the department and across the university, that create (or inhibit) a sense of belonging and community. In one section, students were divided into small groups and asked to write examples on sticky notes and then placed those onto large pieces of paper at the front of the room; then, as a larger group, students provided more context around the examples provided. In the two other sections, students provided anonymous feedback. Over 100 student comments were grouped into key themes by Department of Health Studies faculty leaders. This information was then shared at the departmental annual retreat for discussion with the full faculty in small groups. Specifically, faculty discussed how the positive practices could be operationalized, and the detrimental practices minimized, or managed, in the classroom environment. This activity elevated student voices for faculty discussion and self-reflection in supporting classroom practices to build a more inclusive classroom environment and support student retention efforts. This interactive session will be of interest to undergraduate faculty and staff.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW6350271 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n            <\/div>        <\/div>    <\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"av_toggle_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" >    <div class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \" >        <p data-fake-id=\"#toggle-id-10\" class=\"toggler \"  itemprop=\"headline\" >Session 3: Applying Universal Design to Academic Advising <span class=\"toggle_icon\">        <span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>        <div id=\"toggle-id-10-container\" class=\"toggle_wrap \" >            <div class=\"toggle_content invers-color\"  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Location: Hall of Science 103<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/american.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tJMlf--rpjwoGd1_b_dx7cm5trIG4n9PRXJg\">Join the Zoom session<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW206836945 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW206836945 BCX8\"><strong>Presenters:<\/strong> Alyssa Harben (AUx Instructor &amp; Advisor, UEAS | First Year Advising), Rebecca Little (Disability Access Advisor, UEAS | Student Disability Support), Talia Burnside (AUx Instructor &amp; Advisor, UEAS | First Year Advising) &amp; Ellie Mendelsohn\u00a0(Senior Disability Access Advisor, UEAS | Student Disability Support)\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW206836945 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW139963681 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW139963681 BCX8\">M<\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW139963681 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW139963681 BCX8\">uch<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW139963681 BCX8\"> of the resources surrounding supporting students with disabilities <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW139963681 BCX8\">is<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW139963681 BCX8\"> targeted at either teaching faculty or staff who work specifically in disability resource offices.
